As if it weren’t enough that there’s a new strain of the coronavirus emerging this summer as well as bird flu infections, but now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning doctors and other medical professionals to be on the look out for cases of dengue fever in the mainland United States, the Washington Post reports.
The mosquito-borne virus is experiencing an explosion in Central and South American reporting nearly 10 million cases of the disease. In March, Puerto Rico reported more than 500 infected patients. CDC officials believe tourists and migrants entering the country might be infected, which would lead to the spread in the nation’s population.
